Thanks!

You said “Dems are conservstive [sic]”. What are they conserving? Would it be certain social orders and hierarchies?

Because “Right-wing politics is the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable…”

Feel free to explain how Dems can be conservative without being right-wing. Perhaps you could point to a textbook on political theory I haven't read.

No

I have to say, as a teacher myself, you might not be the best cut out for the job.

I'll go to my politics class and see if they can better explain how Dems, being conservative, are or are not right-wing. Would you like to read the best two or three essays?

I don't want your fictional essays from your fictional background.
